Check the deadlines that you have to meet the following week every Friday. That will give you enough time to finish what you could have forgotten in the past week or to prepare an alternative plan.
Imagine how you miss the deadline
Just as visualization is recommended in case of success, apply visualization in case of failure. Imagine what happens if you miss the deadline. It can be a great motivator.
Divide larger tasks into smaller parts
We often postpone our obligations just because the tasks are too difficult to cope with at once. Therefore, it is necessary to start by dividing the tasks into smaller parts on which you can work for one to two hours.
Set your own deadline before the actual deadline
No wonder it is said that perfectionism goes hand in hand with procrastination. Perfectionists who put off everything to the last minute then end with the excuse that they did not have enough time for a perfect result. The solution is setting out your own deadlines well in advance.
